thank you, thank you so much for explaining the "find by class" thing, watched 20+ videos on this topic and not one explained everything about it like you did.

Thank you very much for your videos. If you use dark mode in oycharm that would be great sir.

I agree, locating an element by tag or class name can be problematic because the locator may not be unique. Ruby for example will fail if the find statement finds multiple elements matching the locator and you need to use another method. Python, although it does not fail, find_element() provides the first element matching the locator, but Python also has a e.g., form_controls = driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, 'form-control') # which will return an array of elements that have that class name. Then you can use form_controls[1] to access the second element in the list if this is the element you want. See his next tutorial (sorry watching these in order)

Also in Manish's example, if you want to use that multiple class names he used, you need to replace the space with a period in the search string and then Python will find the element that matches the hierarchy of classes given.

You didn't provide a way to find a particular tag_name when there are multiple instances...

Hi, I try to find the element by class name, but there are many elements with the same class name, how can I find the specific element? For example <div class="e-filtermenudiv e-icons e-icon-filter" _ngcontent-hbl-c3=""
<div class="e-filtermenudiv e-icons e-icon-filter" _ngcontent-hbl-c3=""
